Three-dimensional artificial intelligence processor based on fine-grained cube architecture and method for designing the same

A three-dimensional (3D) artificial intelligence (AI) processor based on a Fine-Grained Cube (FGC) architecture, comprising:

• an FGC array, a central scheduling module, a data management module, and a 3D power supply circuit;
• wherein
• the FGC array includes a plurality of FGC modules arranged in an expandable three-dimensional layout;
• each of the plurality of FGC modules includes one or more computing units, one or more memory units, and one or more logic units that are integrated through a Memory Fusion Computing architecture;
• the one or more computing units are configured to perform data operations, the one or more memory units are configured to store data, and the one or more logic units are configured to determine a type of operation to be performed on data;
• each of the FGC modules further comprises one or more cache modules configured to cache data;
• data transmission between the plurality of FGC modules and between the plurality of FGC modules and the central scheduling module is performed via a data interaction protocol;
• the central scheduling module is configured to perform corresponding functional configuration of the FGC modules based on the data interaction protocol, configure data attributes, authorize a selected count of FGC modules according to a hierarchical management mechanism, and monitor a portion of the authorized FGC modules;
• the data management module is configured for data communication with an external device;
• and
• the 3D power supply circuit is configured for system power supply.
